The Great Orion Nebula (M42)🌌. The Orion constellation, is one of the brightest and closest star-forming regions to Earth. It spans about 24 light-years across and is approximately 1,344 light-years away. The Nebula is notable for it's vibrant colors and the presence of young stars, making it a key area of study in astrophysics.
I Captured it last Monday just before my surgery, processed with Siril. I removed some Stars on the 2nd picture :). Only 25 stacked exposures at 100s each—
proof that even short sessions can create something magical.

Der Kristallkugelnebel (NGC 1514) ist ein planetarischer Nebel im Sternbild Stier und rund 900 Lichtjahre entfernt. Der Durchmesser wird auf ein halbes Lichtjahr geschätzt. Der Nebel wurde 1790 von dem
Astronomen Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel entdeckt.

Markarian's Chain

This is a group of galaxies in the Virgo constellation. The brighter ones, including M84 and M86 on the right side, appear to be placed on a curved line. But there are so many background galaxies! I had the image annotated and while it did annotate galaxies that aren't in the image (because they are so dim) it show just how many of these are in there.

This is a target I wanted to shoot for quite some time. Unfortunately it's low, right in a light dome, and mostly obstructed by trees and houses. It just so happend that the timing was near perfect the last week, so all these constraints aren't as serve.

I've taken this one with my Newtonian telescope I'm still working on, While I did figure out the focusing issues and contrast there are still things to tweak and improve.

Last Friday i tried to capture the Whirlpool Galaxy M51📸

🌌The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) is a spiral galaxy located about 23 million light-years away in Canes Venatici. It spans approximately 60,000 light-years and features prominent spiral arms with active star formation. M51 is interacting with the smaller galaxy NGC 5195, creating stunning tidal features that enhance its visual appeal.

Messier 13, der große Kugelsternhaufen im Herkules, wurde 1714 von Edmund Halley entdeckt. Mit einer Flächenausdehnung von 20,0' (wahrer Durchmesser 145 Lichtjahre) und einer Helligkeit von 5,7 mag ist er unter einem dunklen Himmel bereits mit dem bloßen Auge zu sehen. Er umkreist unsere Heimat­milch­straße in einer Entfernung von 25 000 Lichtjahren.
